= Recommended Plugins =

The following are recommended plugins.

* [BlogCentral Shortcodes & Widgets Pack](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blogcentral-shortcodes-widgets-pack/) - This plugin contains all of the shortcodes, widgets, shortcode builder, multiple featured images, video and audio embed input, and user profile data input supported by the BlogCentral theme.

= Translators =

BlogCentral needs translations. If you have created or updated a language pack, you can send [gettext PO and MO files](http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress) to [4bzthemes](http://4bzthemes.com/about/) so that it can be bundled into BlogCentral.

== Installation ==

First you will need to download the theme files from WordPress.org. Once the files are obtained, you can install either through wordpress or ftp.

WordPress Installation

On the wordpress admin screen, go to Appearance->Themes, click on the Add New button, then click the Upload Theme button. Navigate to the location you saved the BlogCentral file, which should be in zip format. Click on the file, then click on the Install Now button. After the theme is uploaded, hover over the BlogCentral theme and click the activate button.

FTP Installation

After you login to your host, upload the folder in the extracted BlogCentral folder to /wp-content/themes. Then in the wordpress admin panel, go to Appearance->Themes, activate BlogCentral.

= Do the theme options apply to page templates? =

There are site-wide options, such as the ones for the header and footer, that will apply to page templates. The posts listing options will affect the appearance of the posts listing in the main area on all pages that display a posts listing in a div with id #main-area, eg. index, archive, author, search, category tags pages, etc..
The theme options are not guaranteed to work with custom page templates not provided with the theme.

= I've changed the options on the theme options page, but I don't see the changes on the front end. What is wrong? =

When choosing a demo, you must click the "Change Demo" button because this will save the demo options as the theme options. Also, whenever a demo is viewed on the front end, its options will be the active theme options, until the home page, or another demo is chosen on the front end, for example from the main navigation menu.
If you change the theme options on the admin side, and do not see these changes on the front end, you will have to navigate to the home page, effectively changing the options from the previously viewed demo, or the previously saved options, to the newly saved options from the theme options page.
